I usually do for a couple of the major things, but not for every little application I use. Also, there are still a ton of people that don't have it sent to their phones (I don't know why... I would go crazy if I didn't).

I was considering the application because of the amount of time I take every day going to each site to login, and check each update. The software would give you access to all those places instantly.

I still consider my computer my home base and not my phone, but with the amazing phones that are available that might change.

totally. That solves it if you could get all the automakers to do the same thing. This is what I am talking about:

thanks for the link. I think I'm going to start taking it just on principle of this video.

I'm mad at the cabbies in this city even if they do share rides now. they still charge way too much to go 10 blocks.

Rachel,
Totally took your advice today. I just flew 7 hours from Peru and couldn't wait to comment on this. before the flight I nicley asked the person in front of me to let me know when they are putting the seat back so it didn't crush my knees cause i have long legs.

annnnnd, they did. and when they put it back i didn't care anymore because they were nice about it.

I guess some things don't need to be solved with an idea, rather just communication!

Thanks!

Yeah, totally a good point. I'll try to be more cautious and considerate of others. But babies pay for their flights too... it's just a situation where you throw 100 people in close proximity where just about everything (seats, babies, music, computer typing, videotaping, snoring, seat touching, strange eating, broken lights or fans, jank fold out tables, elbow touching... etc) can be annoying for someone. It's not something that you can just fix with an idea, so yeah, gotta just suck it up.

and BTW, I'm totally glad I didn't have to take a bus. I just spent 32 hours on buses in the last few days and it was not too much fun.

Thanks for the comment!

yeah, it was pretty hard to take deep breaths in the city with those things blowing by with black smoke following. The president of Peru is totally a moron when it comes to the earth. they say that in 35 years peru will be drained of it's natural resources. totally stupid.

It doesn't mean you can't have cleaner versions of the same thing though.

Tim, I still don't understand why you continue to watch every video if you think they suck. You, for the first time, have made some great comments that actually mean something (dan dunn reference, explosives in the purse, cultural differences above)

Ditch being a dousche and be normal. It's an incredible waste of your own time to dismantle everyone on this site. be productive like you kind of have been. If you aren't I'm just going to keep deleting whatever you write without even reading it which is pointless for everyone.

And if you think its a waste of my time... it takes one click and about 3 seconds to delete a comment from my phone so you're really just wasting your own time sitting on a computer talking shit to people.

I actually like that idea for cars. Someone steals your car and you call a number from a payphone... enter a few passwords and your car explodes along with the thief.

Agreed 100% which is exactly what is so sad.

Terry,
That's awesome.... do you have a link to it?

MEL!
I am really digging that J track for the seats. Also to kinda counter you problems with the idea (although they are all very viable), the integrity of the seat would return as you get ready for a crash or landing by moving it into the "landing" position. But, I totally see where you are coming from. (good comparison with the drawer)

I know Midwest re-did their seats about 4 or 5 years ago, but they just made them look pretty. To me that's worthless on a plane. You need functionality over beauty in that confined of a space.

The cost of the seat would go up, but when you take into account the cost of the entire plane, it's not really that huge of a deal.

Mel, thanks for the great comment. Keep them coming and tell your friends about the site. Also, send in a video if you have an idea. Info for that can be found at www.nevernorm.com/submit

Thanks Rhonda! Yeah, I was just sick of not sharing ideas and so far nothing but positives have come from it.

jonnyarkin — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 09:33:32 -0000

someone posted a comment and it was deleted about something like this already existing. If you know of something post a link. I think where Rhonda really has the idea is in an inexpensive way to do this. if it costs like 20 dollars or if its an app on your phone and you always have your phone with you that would really hit a market.

We all aren't cool enough to take hours watching these videos just to make stupid comments. I know you haven't upgraded from a bike to a big boy car yet so you wouldn't understand.

Re: Nevernorm — Episode 7 - Traffic signs I just seems to me...

They manage to do it in a way with onstar that only uses voice and speakers. I imagine that the whole system wouldn't work just through a screen. What if all the speakers were broken and you couldn't hear the onstar person then? There are back up plans I'm sure.

GENIUS! no but for real, it would work to keep things warm if you could have wires to the table. I think I'm going to email you at your address from now on. hahaha awesome

Look up the term "conscious capitalism."

We tried to make the point that it wasn't just supplements. We have eco friendly things as well as healthy foods (like cashews) along with supplements.

I think you could be a business genius if you think that starting a store and selling things from it is the only way to make a profit. We have a business plan, and our plan right now and for as long as we exist, is to provide our customers with the best deals we can find on the internet. We want to provide a free great product at SelfPure, because we want people to be more health conscious for a little cheaper if they can.

Thanks for the comments!

It's funny you bring that up. I was just having a convo with someone about that. A hot plate is a flat iron made for cooking and it plugs in the wall. Unless you want a few wires going to your kitchen table that really wouldn't work. you could put the plate on a hot plate I guess, but it really wouldn't be normal to keep soup or pasta warm on a hot plate.

Thanks for the comment.

Tiernee makes the best point of just heating your plates before you serve. and you make a good point of just keeping them hot when you do serve them.

This is one of my favorite ideas so far and I can't believe no one has brought up the Ipad. Here is my beef with the Ipad. You cant run major programs on it. i want to be able to run photoshop and illustrator with a custom keyboard, not just read that newspaper and surf the web.

Don't get me wrong, it's a step in a cool direction, but it needs another screen and a big hard drive to really take advantage of its potential.

See, I don't think that would happen. If you used a harder plastic and a heat that wouldn't melt it..... then the wires would always be covered. If the bowls were metal however you would get shocked every time.

I'm not talking a full on 110 degree bowl, just something to keep the goods warm enough long enough.

you know what would work best? Ceramic. If you could do the coils with ceramic that would totally work the best.

There is actually a badass Microsoft video they put together. you can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

This is the manufacturing one, and there is a shot of a keyboard at 2:25: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

you can watch the parody here.... which I highly recommend: http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Steve- did you see how now I'm letting people send in videos with their ideas? it wont only be me now, so that should involve a lot more people and a lot more peoples friends. so if you have any brain activity send one in.
